Digging - The Netflix Edition

Thanks to some terrible weather and a nasty case of tonsillitis, I've been watching a lot more Netflix than usual. Especially during the day, a habit I usually try to avoid. Want to know what I've been binging? Here are my favorites:

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - Set in 1958 New York City, the story is about Mrs. Maisel, a perfect upper east side wife whose husband leaves her. She ends up having a comedic breakdown on stage in the Village and her life goes careening down a completely new path. It was created by Amy Sherman-Palladino, the same as my beloved Gilmore Girls, so you know it's going to be quick-fire and hilarious. It's won a much-deserved Golden Globe. And the sets and costumes are sumptuous, they pull you right in.

Outlander - I got fortunate with this one. I missed the last two episodes of the newest season before we moved and I thought I was out of luck. But lo and behold, it's available on Netflix so I got to catch up and be ready for the next season. And I may have skipped around to some of my past favorite episodes. Teehee!

Anne With an E
Anne with an E - A Canadian series based on Anne of Green Gables, which I've read several times. This one takes a few liberties with the story, but it maintains all the optimism and charm as the novels. And the actress who plays Anne is utter perfection -- carrot hair and all! I hope more are released in the future. This Gilbert looks promising.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - I was happy to find there was a season we hadn't yet watched of this really loopy show.

The Good Place - This series, about a really messed-up version of the afterlife, is something Dave and I watched only now and than. I really enjoy the characters (what a talented ensemble!) and the funny situations they find themselves in. "What the fork!" And Maya Rudolph comes in at the end of the newest season and steals the show.

Gilmore Girls - This show should be on all the lists. Always. And because I've seen this series so many times, I like to fast-forward over the slow parts, to get to my favorite scenes. And yes, I still yell at Rory for being so innocent and dense. But ... Team Jess 4-ever.

OK .. enough with TV! My fever is gone and the snow has melted, so I'm off exploring the streets of Paris.

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
